The Role

As a founding product engineer at Flick, you’ll sit at the intersection of engineering, design, and filmmaking. You won’t just build features — you’ll shape how people create films with AI. You will work directly with the founders, and have the opportunity to shape the future interface for AI visual storytelling.

What you’ll do

  • Design and build product features end-to-end across frontend and backend.

  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on new creative workflows with tight feedback loops.

  • Work closely with founders on product direction, UX decisions, and feature prioritization.

  • Translate ambiguous ideas into intuitive, high-quality user experiences.

  • Continuously refine interaction details, polish, and usability.

  • Help define the future of AI-native creative tools.

Requirements

  • Strong full stack engineering skills (React, TypeScript, backend frameworks).

  • Exceptional product sense and attention to UX details .

  • Experience building creative tools. Can become an expert in creative technology in AI video production.

  • Strong intuition for what makes a product feel simple, powerful, and delightful.

  • Startup mindset: high ownership, high agency, high velocity.

  • Nice-to-have

  • Love films and art.

  • You are a creator yourself : filmmaker, video editor, animator, designer, or similar.

  • Have experience in AI video generation.

  • Have been a founder before.

  • Have contributed in open-source projects, and coding for fun outside of regular work.
